I understand the Captain will be going to the majors but I'm interested in knowing where the FOs are going. Is it lateral moves or LCC? And for those who do leave, why not wait a few more years and upgrade to get to a major rather than go to a LCC? Just curious to the reasoning
You need to be educated on what an LCC and ULCC is . I gurantee you that you don't even realize that Southwest is an LCC.
Anyways, FOs and CAs are probably applying to these airlines because, they will make over 100k 2nd year and 200k a few years after that ... at all LCC and ULCC carriers. While getting a 12-16% DC into their 401k; from day 1 . Job security, bases, growth opportunity, work rules and QOL are just better at places that sell their own tickets . Legacy carriers, UPS and Fedex are not the only great jobs out there .
